At the heart of the 2010 Palmo T150 scooter motorcycle, Palmo features a 150 cc (9.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.9 HP (7.9 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 72.7 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the T150 measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.68 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,650 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 207 km (129 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 80 km/h (50 mph).
